It is probably a good idea to separate the power supplies from the components. Try separating them all and see if you can detect which one is vibrating. If both linear power supplies are vibrating, it might indicate you have some dirty power issues further up the chain.
Why can I feel vibration when I touch my network switch or streamer?
I have a Silent Angel Bonn N8 switch powered by a Forester F1 linear power supply, which is attached to an Innuos Zen Mini Mk3 with a SSD, also powered by a linear power supply. The N8 and Mini sit on top of their power supplies.
When I lightly touch the top of either the N8 or Mini, I can feel a slight vibration. I am surprised by this because neither device has any moving parts that I know of.
Why does this vibration occur? Is it inherent vibration of the electrical parts within the devices (e.g., resistors, capacitors)?
Would I be well-advised to avoid stacking the N8 and Mini on their power supplies?
Should I simply decrease my coffee intake?
